I am using version 3.5

If I create a quiz with a long answer question and put 1+1=2 in the answer box, hit submit. It will say on a blank page:

Forbidden

I don't think that error is coming from Moodle.

I think that what might be going of is that the web server may be imposing so inappropriate security heursitic. This could be like https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLSITE-6373, which I just discovered affecting this site.

Does it let you submit 'one plus one equals two'?
